Fugg that shiznit... You can get a 50" LED light bar for $1500 and i am certain that it will outperform any projectors

X a zillion on that one. Shine brighter, farther and be more durable

Yeah, there's just that little issue with being able to use it if anyone's within miles of ya. There's a reason why HID's are such an expensive option when offered on an OEM vehichle. If you've never had a real set you just can't understand.

True true, led is more street able than my hids but the quality low beam light is what you're trying to beat. And that led bar is useless for that. My hid I have to shut off as soon as I see a car coming even if it's 5 miles away. I did some testing and they are offensive no matter what, but sooo bright.

I like the projectors but that grille surround being silver just throws off the whole look of the truck IMO.

That looks fantastic! What shrouds are those? I like it a lot.

If you would like to see a retrofit in person, let me know. I too am from Menlo.
